This circular sterling silver brooch centers a finely detailed thistle, full flower head with surrounding leaves, within a border of Celtic knotwork. The open-work design creates depth, the space between the thistle and the knotwork ring lending the piece a lively, layered quality. The hinged pin backing makes it equally at home on a lapel or securing a scarf. Measures 1 1\/4\" (32mm) across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS \u0026amp; CRAFTSMANSHIP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCast using the lost wax method and hand finished at Walker Metalsmiths in Andover, NY.
